African blogger Paul I. Adujie raises red alerts for the average American to become aware of the high cost the appetite for drug consumption in the US has on Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic.

The drug violence in Mexico has reached a crescendo of violence, full scale violence while the appetite for drug or narcotics consumption remains high in the United States and the profits, which is the incentive for the suppliers, remain equally seductive for would be narcotics-traffickers in Mexico, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, El Salvador etc, he writes.

He comments that Americans through endangered species protection rules in America strive mightily to preserve bald eagles and bison and to put poachers of elephants for their tusks out of business. And then asks why are Americans not up in arms in reaction to the needless deaths of 30,000 Mexicans in the demand and supply of illicit drugs or narcotics to satisfy Americans' humongous appetite for harmful substances?

"I have known the average American to be more decent and more caring than most. I have known the average American to protect complete strangers and to go all out or go to bat in defense of human rights, but why is it different regarding these 30,000 needless deaths which are directly connected to American consumption of drugs and or narcotics?" he asks.

Demand and supply for drugs or narcotics by Americans is what fuels the drug trade in Mexico and much of North, South and Latin America. American guns and the easy access to guns in America facilitates and accelerates-exacerbates drug violence or wars in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Panama etc.
